Original Message Revelation 17:10, "And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space."

Revelation 17:11, "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition."

Before trying to figure out WHO the 8th king is, we must find out WHEN this prophecy is to occur. Some believe the five kings that are fallen are the nations that fell before John received the Revelation from Christ on the Isle of Patmos. Problem with that theory is the "time frame" that was being set in the vision itself. In Revelation 21:9,10 we see the angel showing John a scene where the city of Heaven is descending from above. This truly has John thinking of the END of time does it not. Just as it did in Revelation 17 at the beginning when the angel invited John to "...Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:"-Revelation 17:1

The judgment is NOT "before" John's day. This vision is definitely depicting a time in the future. Revelation 17 must be understood as beginning in the "time of the judgment" which in fact began at the end of Daniel's 2300 year prophecy in 1844ad.

By the way, this is also the same time frame of Daniel chapter 7 judgment scene...

Daniel 7:10, "... the judgment was set, and the books were opened."

...Revelation 10 and the little book...

Revelation 10:10, "And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter."

...the preaching of the first angels message...

Revelation 14:6-7, "...for the hour of his judgment is come:..."
